The MRL Show: You're Loading The Dishwasher All Wrong

Transcript

00:00This is something that we all do every single day, and apparently we're doing it all wrong.

00:07It's loading your dishwasher.

00:09I'm the dishwasher master.

00:11I do the dishes in my house, and when Amanda tries to come in and Tetris it, I'm like,

00:16uh-uh, you are talking to the Tetris king.

00:18I can make it all fit.

00:20Dallas is the dishwasher police.

00:25Like, if you do not load it his way, you are wrong no matter what.

00:30This is what I hear.

00:31And I don't even, to the point where I don't even want to load the dishwasher anymore,

00:35I would rather do the dishes by hand and lay them out to dry them, put them back in the cabinet.

00:39Read your article, and then I want to know what Dallas says you're doing wrong.

00:42Everything.

00:43I'm doing nothing right.

00:44I can't wait for him to hear this article.

00:46Oh, is he doing it wrong too?

00:47I think some of it.

00:49Okay.

00:49So, obviously, you can't just throw everything in there, right?

00:52Well, you have to, this is number one, that Dallas is doing wrong.

00:57Letting the dishwasher wash the dishes.

01:01Dallas wants every, like, the dishes to look clean before they go in the dishwasher.

01:05And I'm like, that's the whole reason we have a dishwasher.

01:07Like, yes, you rinse them, but it doesn't have to be, like, spotless when they go in.

01:13Anything, like, if you had, if you melted cheese on a plate or something like that,

01:17it might not come off because it's, like, melted on.

01:19So, yes, you got to get that off.

01:20But I agree.

01:21Well, here's the thing.

01:22This article says that don't worry about rinsing them off completely because it actually tricks

01:27the dishwasher sensors.

01:29Like, there's sensors in the dishwasher to tell when your plates are clean.

01:32Oh, dope.

01:34I have no idea.

01:35All right, what else?

01:36Plates go on the bottom rack.

01:37Okay, we all know that.

01:38We're not animals, right?

01:39Nope.

01:39Okay.

01:41Bowls should go on the top.

01:42Yeah.

01:43Okay.

01:43Yeah.

01:44And you push them, you kind of lay them on the front rack, like, forwards.

01:49It does say that they need to be on an angle so that water doesn't pool in them.

01:53Yes, bae.

01:54Look at you, Mr. Mom.

01:57Cups go upside down.

01:59Spoons and forks go in their own cup.

02:02You can't just, like, mismash everything together.

02:05I'm guilty of that.

02:06What do you mean?

02:07There's a rack that I put spoons and forks and knives in on the bottom left-hand side.

02:11Yes, but they, like, almost have a cup that they go into, right?

02:14Yes.

02:14Yeah.

02:14So all the forks should be together.

02:16All the spoons should be together.

02:17Are you serious?

02:18All the knives should be together.

02:19I didn't know that.

02:20Yes.

02:20All right.

02:22Knives point down, handles up.

02:25We also do this backwards.

02:26No, you have to do that or else you'll cut yourself.

02:28That's what I think.

02:28It's a safety thing.

02:29Yeah.

02:29I load them down.

02:30Dallas turns them up because he thinks-

02:32That's dangerous, Dal.

02:33I know, but he thinks they dry nicer.

02:35It's possible.

02:36That way.

02:37I'd still rather not cut my artery trying to do the dishes, so.

02:42Pots, obviously, don't go in there.

02:44They get washed by hand.

02:45Plastic containers need to go on top, away from the heat.

02:48Can I ask you something?

02:49Yep.

02:49Do you put strainers?

02:51If you strain spaghetti, you don't put the strainer.

02:54I put the strainer in the dishwasher.

02:55I wash it by hand.

02:56Uh-huh.

02:57Because then if you start putting a bunch of stuff in there, then you're only going

02:59to fit, like, three things.

03:00That's true.

03:01Okay.

03:01Um, and then if you do put pots or pans in there, they need to be away from the door

03:07because they could block the deployment of the detergent.

03:11There's people texting us telling us that this list is wrong.

03:14No.

03:15Yes.

03:16No.

03:16704 texted in and said you're not supposed to put plastic in the dishwasher at all.

03:20Well, that is true because when you heat it, when you heat up plastic, it, like, releases

03:25toxins and that is true.

03:28But nobody has time to watch, especially if you have kids, wash a million things by hand.

03:32Oh, I got a good one for you.

03:35And, uh, is it people poll worthy or is it just one call says it all?

03:40Tell me.

03:41Let's see.

03:42Uh, Amanda will put the covers into the dishwasher.

03:48And if the covers aren't dirty, if you put in, like, a glass bowl, like, leftovers, and

03:55the cover's not dirty, she still wants the cover to go in the dishwasher.

03:59And I say the cover doesn't need to be washed.

04:01No, it needs to be washed.

04:02Maybe rinsed.

04:03Oh.

04:04It needs to be washed.

04:05What say you, MRL fam?

04:06Let's do one call says it all.

04:09Even like, even like this.

04:10Like, um, if you're using your...

04:13What?

04:13You don't wash the top of your Yetis?

04:15No, no, no, no.

04:16You can rinse them.

04:17You don't have to put them in the dishwasher, though.

04:18Their mouth is all over them.

04:20Of course you don't have to put them in the dishwasher.

04:21Nikki and Charlotte, can you settle this argument for us once and for all?

04:26They have to go in together.

04:29Oh, together, no less.

04:30What are they?

04:31They married?

04:33Yes.

04:33Husband and wife.
